Female Ultra Runner Of The Year, Canada

Aight, let’s get this party started! In what could likely parlay into similar voting for North American UROY, here are the candidates. As before Melcher is hosting the men’s vote on his blog.

We will leave these postings up and invite comments to help fill in any blanks up until Sunday afternoon. At approximately 6pm we’ll roll out a FOUR DAY POLL for UROY voting. Here are our known results for the top Canadian performers of 2010. Please take a second to review the entire list as it’s in alphabetical order and no one should overlook anyone on here.

It's really too bad about Ellie not being able to represent Canada as that might be the main thing that could possibly prevent many from voting for her after such a deep season of amazing races. Not being able to represent Canada internationally may affect how some people see the votes going. A little off topic, but is there any appeal process where she might be able to overturn things or speed up the procedure to wear the maple leaf? Is it more of a Canadian or international policy?

Landed status folks used to be able to run for Canada back in the day. Then the IAU changed the rules and I think it's highly unlikely Ellie will run for Canada as it means you have to sit out 3 years I believe if you are switching countries that your going to represent. The ACU recognizes her records as a landed citizen just can't claim the open Canadian Records till citizenship is gained.Ryne

3 years just seems like a hell of a long time. I can't imagine that's what some athletes are waiting. I'm sure there's many countries that look to speed up the whole process. I mean there's doping sentences that are less!

I had to read up on "Monica." But here is a write up and race plan 1 year ago when she was starting 2010. It seems she broke her own record. Copy and paste — the dude put special characters in the URLhttp://www.monumentaleffort.com/monica%E2%80%99s-3000-mile-odyssey My vote is with her.

Hey GarySue here, make sure you give that UROY award to Elle she truly deserves it. I'm just flattered that I was in the running. It seems that my fan club in town here goes overboard once again.
